|

|

<para>The system locale consists of an array of environment-variable-assignment-like strings. The
|
||||
following strings are known: <varname>LANG=</varname>, <varname>LC_CTYPE=</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>LC_NUMERIC=</varname>, <varname>LC_TIME=</varname>, <varname>LC_COLLATE=</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>LC_MONETARY=</varname>, <varname>LC_MESSAGES=</varname>, <varname>LC_PAPER=</varname>,
|

<varname>LC_NAME=</varname>, <varname>LC_ADDRESS=</varname>, <varname>LC_TELEPHONE=</varname>,
|
||||
<varname>LC_MEASUREMENT=</varname>, <varname>LC_IDENTIFICATION=</varname>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Whenever the system locale or keymap is changed via the daemon <function>PropertyChanged</function>
|
||||
signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para>

<title>Methods</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>If you set a new system locale all old system locale settings will be dropped, and the new
|
||||
settings will be saved to disk. It will also be passed to the system manager, and subsequently started
|
||||
daemons will inherit the new system locale from it. Note that already running daemons will not learn
|
||||
about the new system locale.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> call may be used to set the key mapping on the
|
||||
virtual console. Similarly, <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> may be used to set the default key
|
||||
mapping of the X11 servers.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Note that <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> instantly applies the new keymapping to the
|
||||
console, while <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> simply sets a default that may be used by later
|
||||
sessions.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The boolean argument <varname>convert</varname> may be set to optionally convert the console
|
||||
keyboard configuration to X11 keyboard mappings, resp. vice versa. If true and
|
||||
<function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> is used the nearest X11 keyboard setting for the chosen
|
||||
console setting is set. If true and <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> is used, the nearest console
|
||||
keyboard setting for the chosen X11 setting is set. Usually it is hence sufficient to call one of the
|
||||
two functions.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>For graphical UIs that need to set the system keyboard mapping simply invoke
|
||||
<function>SetX11Keyboard()</function>, set <varname>convert=true</varname> and ignore
|
||||
<function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Use the empty string for the keymap parameters you wish not to set.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Changing the system locale or keymap using this interface is authenticated via PolicyKit. The
|
||||
PolicyKit action for <function>SetLocale()</function> is
|
||||
<constant>org.freedesktop.locale1.set-locale</constant>. The PolicyKit action for
|
||||
<function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> and <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> is
|
||||
<constant>org.freedesktop.locale1.set-keyboard</constant>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <varname>user_interaction</varname> boolean parameters can be used to control whether
|
||||
PolicyKit should interactively ask the user for authentication credentials if it needs to.</para>
